THIBODAUX – Nicholls State's University football program announced the hiring of Ricky Brumfield as its special teams coordinator/safeties coach. Brumfield previously served as special teams coordinator for seven seasons at NCAA Division II Fairmont State University.

“We are very excited to have Ricky Brumfield join our staff”, Nicholls head football coach Charlie Stubbs said. “Not only does he bring a wealth of experience in the area of special teams, but he also fits everything we’re looking for in a coach because he values academics and looks at the total student-athlete. And being a native of New Orleans, I believe his knowledge of the area will further strengthen our philosophy of recruiting in-state.”
